[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If big stores are leaving SF (whole foods/starbucks), there is a poop map of the city, needles everywhere, and acknowledgment that more police are needed, it tells me that there are significant issues there.  In addition, there was the reparations discussion there that was approved by local legislative body which would concern me as well.  So many competing priorities and what will they fund with the pot of money they have?  It should be a priorities discussion, not raising taxes discussion.

People are leaving the city and for a good reason.  I’m no republican but this stuff makes me weary of super liberal politics as well.[/quote]

Yep.

Is there something wrong with being willing to change your priorities based on the effect of previous policy? Do you really not want more police?[/quote]

I sure as hell do, but I never called for defunding the police.  
She can't even admit that she has gone a full 180 on the subject.  [/quote]

You act like that is some huge scandal but it’s just how government works. We try popular ideas out because democracy and then change our minds if it doesn’t work out. That’s a good thing. If Republicans had a political solution to crime then there wouldn’t be similar trends in red districts, yet there are. Most local dems are now trying to increase police recruitment. Your outrage is misplaced.[/quote]

We are NOT a democracy. Get that thru your thick head. Democracies are tyrannical and majority rule by nature.

That's not what we are. We are a republic. The word democracy does not appear in the Constitution once.[/quote]

I’m thinking of becoming a substitute teacher in retirement just so I can correct the stupidity in history now. The fact you even have to correct someone and tell them this shows me how bad history is being taught in publics. In addition, we have a lot of people here who are not US citizens who don’t understand the history of the US or our Constitutional Republic, right down down to state and local law, and how it works. I had some HOA idiot from another country tell me that we could not build a home on our buildable lot. Excuse? HOAs get some say in it so a pink shack isn’t built, but telling me I can’t build? My reply is that I could take my four acres (including the land our current home is on - they are adjacent) and sell it to one of the companies building teen rehab centers and adult mental health short-term facilities, which can be done through a legal loophole in our county, thus tanking his property values. Would he like that better? Amazing how fast the control freak shut up. Oh, and I joined the HOA’s architectural committee as well, just so I can keep these idiots in check.

While the French person (for instance) seems like a very nice person, she is constantly dissing this country, holding up socialism as the beacon of freedom, but doesn’t seem in a hurry to get back to France anytime soon. My guess is he/she is here due to job and money, something that could not be achieved in his/her own nation.

My friend was an HOA president and not only had people over weekly for dinner but also got the entire HOA to sponsor a community center in a third world country. He also ran a business and had four kids. Some people can do it all and with a smile. Be better. [/quote]

And? I’m not criticizing all HOA presidents. I’m simply stating that some people do not understand what the Constitution is, why it was written, and why its so important, and that shows when they rise to positions of power.[/quote]
